LOWDOWN: Free Country showed a strong late kick winning both his starts for Ken McPeek, including a game score going two turns at Gulfstream Park last out. Kent Desormeaux stays aboard to ride in this prep for the Tampa Bay Derby.

LOWDOWN: Dutrow-trained colt Into My Soul won his final start as a 2-year-old by open lengths over the Aqueduct turf with a sustained late run. He beat several of today’s opponents last year, and shows sharp, steady works for his return.

LOWDOWN: In two starts since arriving from England, Visit ran a close fourth in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf and a close third in the Grade 1 Matriarch against opponents of the highest class. This field is much softer; the only question is, can she handle the switch from turf to synthetic?
